True un-restored and uncut 1966 Ford Bronco Roadster, U13 vin code.  Built in October, 1965.  Bought from original owner's son in 1994 in Charlotte, NC.  76,000 original miles; original engine rebuilt in 1999 but less than 1,000 miles since then.  Has been in storage since 2000, driven occasionally until 2006.  Pulled out of storage last year, taken to the mechanic for a complete check-up, new tires, and then detailed.


To the best of my knowledge, the Bronco has never been wrecked.  I've certainly never wrecked it, and I was told when I bought it that it had never even been in a fender bender.  The gas tank leaks when full.

New high-quality, custom-made seat covers (front buckets and rear bench) to match the original factory spec vinyl, including gray color (only color available on the '66 models) and texture, installed in 2000.  Not sure if the paint is original (it's not been painted since I've had it) but is in very good condition.  Small, slight bubble rust under paint in one place on front right quarter panel, near bumper (see picture).  Slight surface rust on original floor pans; slight surface rust on the original bumpers.  When I say "surface", I mean surface.

Just had all fluids changed, new tires (235/75R15 Goodyear radials), new battery, new brakes, rebuilt master cylinder, new right front brake cylinder, new front axle seals, points, rotor, exhaust gasket, manifold re-surfaced, and carb completely rebuilt.  Pull to the right when breaking hard, but I've yet to see an old Bronco that did not do this.

Less than 5,000 Roadsters were produced by Ford.  How many are still around?  And how many are still around in this condition...uncut, unmolested, and un-restored?  My guess is less than five.

Features:
  • --original number-matching 170cid straight 6 engine
  • --original 1-barrel carburetor
  • --original lock-out hubs (rebuilt 1995) on the 4-wheel drive front axle
  • --original oil bath air filter
  • --original vacuum windshield wipers
  • --original hub caps, plus 4 extra rear caps (unique to '66--not sold on pickups or any other vehicles)
  • --original straight-end bumpers (unique to '66 and '67 models)
  • --original driver side mirror (unique to early Roadsters, not an after-market one)
  • --original "pencil" dash pad, with no cracks (unique to '66 and '67 models)
  • --original eyebrow grill (only found on early production '66s)
  • --original FOMOCO washer fluid bag
  • --original 3-on-the-tree 3.03 manual transmission
  • --original long-throw 4-wheel drive transfer case control stick with round ball head (only found on early production '66s)
  • --original rubber transfer case boot (unique to '66 models)
  • --original rear bench seat, loved by my kids when they were little
  • --original black arm rests on rear bench seat (unique to '66 models)
  • --original 15-inch wheels, including the spare
  • --original rear tail light lenses (no "clear" reverse section; unique to '66 models)
  • --original FOMOCO tail hitch
  • --original fold-down windshield (hinged to fold flat on top of the hood, with a pin hitch to hold it in place)
  • --original skid plate protecting the transfer case

The successful bidder must make a $250 deposit via PayPal within 48 hours of the close of the auction.  Full payment for the vehicle must be made within three days of the close of the auction.  The vehicle will not be released until payment is received via bank transfer or other means acceptable to the owner.  Sale does not include shipping.  Buyer is responsible for all shipping arrangements and costs.

I have tried to provide an honest description of this Bronco.  I encourage anyone interested in bidding to view the Bronco in person, it is located in Acworth, GA.  If you have any questions, please let me know prior to bidding.

This Bronco is sold as-is, where-is, with no warranty implied or given.

Ford Transit production fires up, American Pickers among first takers

Wed, 30 Apr 2014

Not long ago, the History Channel showed a seemingly unending stream of World War II documentaries, but it made a switch a few years ago to include an increasing mix of 'reality' programming. American Pickers was one of the early attempts at this new formula, with cameras following hosts Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz around the country in a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter as they tracked down collectibles and "rusty gold" for their Iowa shop, Antique Archeology. The show has since gone on to become one of the channel's most popular programs.
Starting in the new episode airing tonight, the affable hosts will swap their Benz for a 2015 Ford Transit, a nicely timed bit of marketing to coincide with the launch of the model's assembly at the Blue Oval's Kansas City Assembly Plant, which also kicks off this week. Ford is touting 2,000 new jobs created as part of its $1.1-billion investment in the plant.
No strangers to product placement, the guys from American Pickers say their switch away from the Sprinter is because they wanted to balance cargo capacity and fuel economy to make the most of their cross-country jaunts. They opted for the largest Transit available with a long wheelbase, extended body and high roof, giving them 487 cubic feet of cargo room. Hauling power comes from a 3.2-liter, five-cylinder diesel engine with 190 horsepower and 346 pound-feet of torque and a six-speed automatic transmission with rear-wheel drive. Fittingly, the van wears the same Antique Archaeology logo over white paint as their old Sprinter.

Recharge Wrap-up: Tesla details factory expansion; Ford and SunPower raise money for Sierra Club

Thu, Nov 20 2014

Tesla has revealed the details of the upgrade of its Fremont, CA factory. One major change is the addition of a dedicated production space for the dual-motor P85D version of the Model S. Robots will be doing the battery installation on the Model S to save some time, and new export docks allow Tesla to get the cars out the door and on the way to their new owners more quickly. The new robots that move the cars around the factory have been named after X-Men characters, which makes our inner geeks smile. Check out the factory upgrade in the time-lapse video below and read more at Teslarati or at the Tesla Motors Blog. A program in Beijing for privileged registrations for EVs hasn't had much success. Of the 1,424 lottery winners, only about 30 percent went on to register an electric car despite a two-month extension of the deadline to do so. Buyers are likely discouraged by the lack of charging infrastructure, which the city hopes to ameliorate with the addition of 1,000 new charging stations by the end of the year, and by requiring new and renovated developments to set aside parking specifically for EV charging. Read more at Green Car Reports. The UC Davis Institute of Transportation Studies suggests that laws designed to protect dealers and consumers are stymieing the adoption of EVs. Laws like the ones certain states have in place that block or otherwise restrict Tesla's direct-to-consumer business model are not helpful for companies that want to introduce new products to the market. They prevent companies from passing on savings to customers for whom they would likely make the difference in a purchasing decision. One possible solution would be to allow exemptions to certain selling restrictions for a certain number of vehicles sold. "This could give automakers the degree of control needed to work out kinks with early customers, develop scalable processes for supporting PEVs, and ensure that effective dealer performance standards are in place before handing the reins over to wholly independent retailers," according to UC Davis ITS. Read more at the UC Davis website. Volkswagen says its environmental program, called "Think Blue. Factory," is meeting the automaker's own sustainability targets. The main purpose of the program is to move toward eco-friendlier carmaking at each of its plants worldwide.

10 most memorable cars and SUVs of 2019

Tue, Dec 24 2019

It's no surprise that a car reviewer will drive a large number of cars over the course of a year. Indeed, when the clock strikes midnight on Dec 31, I will have driven 75 new cars, trucks and SUV this year (and one old Peugeot) over the course of weekly evaluation loans and first drive events. That sure seems like a lot. Some definitely got more attention than others, and some came and went without leaving much of an impression – I completely forgot I drove a Kia Forte. Yet in the spirit of this day, I thought I'd pick the 10 that I would love to see under the Christmas tree tomorrow morning. You know, just in case you were looking to get me something. I'll also throw in a couple disappointments that were memorable for the wrong reasons. They'd get sent back to the store on Boxing Day. Lexus LC 500 Pictured below and resplendent in its Flare Yellow metallic paint, the car that would reach highest on my list is the divine Lexus LC 500. As a devout lover of GT cars, the LC ticks all the boxes. Muscular and characterful engine? V8, check. Beautifully made and memorable interior? It's gorgeous, to hell with Remote Touch. Check. Comfortable and reasonably practical? Superb seats and, uh, yeah. Makes me want to stand there and stare at it? You bet. Though I long figured my heart would say LC but my head "Porsche 911," after this go-around, that's no longer the case. LC, pretty please. 2020-lexus-lc500-f34-2 View 19 Photos Polestar 1 I actually feel lucky that I got to drive the Polestar 1. Only 150 will be produced each year, and it's a far more special thing than it would initially appear. And that's despite initially appearing to be a beautiful, classic two-door GT car with a roof so rakish it's only possible because it's made of carbon fiber. That itÂ’s a massively powerful plug-in hybrid with more all-electric range than any other PHEV is a thick dollop of whipped cream on a slice of Toscakaka. You know, Swedish dessert, Swedish car. Fine, I'll stick to Ikea references.  Polestar1_Launch_SanFrancisco-0014 View 44 Photos Volvo V60 Cross Country Speaking of Sweden, did I drive this car off the road there? Sure did! And despite this, the V60 Cross Country scratches that certain wagon itch and looks sensational to boot. I wish it were available with the T8 plug-in hybrid powertrain, but it's best not to get greedy at Christmas.
